It's easy to score an amazing deal with Expedia. Just choose your car type, select your dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from all the trusted rental providers. Save even more when you combine your Lake Charles car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lake Charles?
Rental car rules in Lake Charles require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Most rental providers impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Lake Charles?
The main requirements are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check with your rental agency to avoid any issues.
What is the cheapest car rental in Lake Charles?
With car rental rates as low as AU$80 and AU$87 a day in Lake Charles within the past seven days, you'll be zooming off with your own incredible deal in no time. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Lake Charles?
Yes, and you'll find your ideal set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip details and we'll show you fantastic options from numerous trustworthy companies.
Where can I find a Lake Charles car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Lake Charles rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's ideal to know about this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Lake Charles with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
